In the Footsteps of Nabokov. Selected Essays
59.99 €
Brian Boyd is known to readers and literary scholars around the world primarily as the author of the definitive two-volume biography of Nabokov, Vladimir Nabokov: The Russian Years and Vladimir Nabokov: The American Years. But Professor Boyd is not only a biographer. His works on Nabokov, his monographs on Ada and Pale Fire, in their time brought Nabokov studies to a new level. The rich and complex phenomenon of Nabokov's work appears in Boyd's books as a single system - a harmonious construction, where each part (ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, psychology, narrative, history of literature, literary translation, poetry, chess, butterflies) is harmoniously related to the whole and is conditioned by this whole. The essays that make up this collection - individual components of this construction - allow us to look into the workshop of what is probably the most attentive reader of Nabokov.
